      Steve D The cast is better than the material. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review William R. P Martha Stewart? That Martha Stewart?Martha Stewart, Actress in ‘Daisy Kenyon' and ‘In a Lonely Place,' Dies at 98 She also sang with big bands and starred on stage as Miss Adelaide in 'Guys and Dolls.' guess not Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review Matthew R The most interesting of Crawford's, 40s Warner Bros. melodramas. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't like the story, but the performance is good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent,but emotionally selective , it was the times. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 'Daisy Kenyon' was certainly no 'Mildred Pierce' , nor even a 'Harriet Craig'. The slick production values , great direction and three gorgeous stars at the height of their powers cannot compensate for a plot that no editing could have sense of , and the fact that Joan was just too old for this bachelor girl part.

      Richard Brody New Yorker Rarely have love and madness seemed so fruitfully allied. Jun 20, 2016 Full Review Dan Callahan Slant Magazine Fairly recently, Otto Preminger's Daisy Kenyon has been starting to get some of the acclaim and attention it deserves. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 11, 2008 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia Its melodrama has tiny moments that are illuminated by the presence of Joan Crawford, Dana Andrews and Henry Fonda, but I'm afraid there is nothing moving in the dilemmas of their love triangle. Full review in Spanish Rated: 6/10 Feb 10, 2022 Full Review Josh Larsen LarsenOnFilm At the beginning of Daisy Kenyon, Joan Crawford is the sane one. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 26, 2021 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion A scrupulously cooled romance and a portrait of a postwar nation, but first and foremost a fluid chart of thorny personal spaces brushing against each other Sep 2, 2014 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Though one of Preminger's weaker films, it's still interesting to watch as a sampler of the woman's picture and star vehicle for Joan Crwaford. Rated: C+ Mar 8, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
